The Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH)

Earlier this month the EU released the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (The Act). #AAIHmembers Paul Howard, PhD, Senior Director of Amicus Therapeutics, Elaine H., Executive Director of the The Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH), Mustaqhusain Kazi Global Head of Informatics Strategy and Digital Innovation at Roche, Rafael Rosengarten Co-Founder and CEO of Genialis and James Zanewicz, JD, LLM, RTTP, Chief Business Officer at Tulane University School of Medicine, authored a response of behalf of #AAIH to the provisional agreement. This article provides valuable insights into several key aspects: the presence of bias in healthcare AI, the existing solutions addressed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the dedication to ethically implementing AI, and the crucial role of human oversight in enhancing AI literacy. #aiinhealthcare #AI #regulation #GDPR #EU #theAct Read more in the full article here

After The Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH) Annual Member Meeting, we want to continue to focus on some key takeaways from our members and attendees! Bob Silverman, Chief Business Officer of Turbine, provided some of his key takeaways and thoughts from the meeting below! - Thrilled about the vast applications of our work, spanning from groundbreaking IP in drug discovery to enhancing operational efficiency throughout the pharmaceutical value chain, including research, discovery, manufacturing, and commercialization. Excited to see the impact this will have across the industry! The AAIH playbook fulfills a huge need for frame working, and will be a great collaborative effort. - In several presentations and lightning talks, the concept of "where the puck is going to be" rather than "where it is right now" emerged prominently. Autonomous agents were a key topic of discussion, highlighting their future potential in our industry. Excited to explore these innovations further! - Data as a differentiator was a common theme and everyone seems to understand quality is more critical than quantity.?However if data is an asset and competitive differentiator, then data will remain very siloed and unshared.?The concept of what is pre-competitive is arguably shrinking? Is that good? What were your key takeaways from the AAIH Annual Member meeting? Weigh in below! #AAIH #AAIHAnnualMemberMeeting #aiinhealthcare

Today we present a special AAIH #StudentSpotlight featuring Abraham Obianke, a registered student member of The Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH) who has recently concluded his Fetal Health project. Abraham kindly shared this project with us, and we want to share with you; keep reading to learn more! Project: Fetal Health Risk Detection using Machine Learning. Problem Statement:?According to the UNICEF, the neonatal period is the most vulnerable time for a child. Globally, 2.3 million children died in the first month of life in 2022 – approximately 6,300 neonatal deaths every day. Data Source: I retrieved relevant fetal health data from University of California, UC Irvine, dataset archive with over 2126 fetal Cardiotocograms (CTGs) consisting of measurements of fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contraction (UC) features classified and labelled by expert Obstetricians. My Data-Driven Solution: I developed a patient triage system that analyzes data from Cardiotogram to detect potential fetal health risks, empowering healthcare professionals and mothers with the knowledge needed to seek timely medical interventions. Project Highlights: 1. Model achieved an accuracy of >90% using KNN machine learning algorithm. 2. Model built on robust dataset classified and labelled by expert Obstetricians to ensure reliable and actionable prediction. 3. Model operationalized with a user friendly flask web application. Why my solution matters: This preventive Machine Learning project in healthcare reflects my dedication to working towards the attainment of 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs goal 3 of ending all preventable deaths under five years of age using machine learning techniques and a Data-Driven approach.
